If you Think PC is bad in the US, UK, Australia and Canada...well, it really is. But you should see Japan:

"Wargming.net removes Japanese Rising Sun flag from 'World of Warships'"

"Wargaming.net has made good on a promise it made to users earlier this month who were deeply offended by the use of the Rising Sun flag in its game World of Warships. Earlier in the month some Korean players were offended by the use of the flag, mostly because it represent aggression by the Japanese towards it country during World War II. Many countries in the South Pacific have similar feelings of ill will towards Japan for its actions during World War II, so this reaction to that symbol is not all that surprising."

Bull, bull, and bull: This is coming straight from the Korean and PRC fiction factories.

For instance, "Korean players were offended by the use of the flag, mostly because it represent aggression by the Japanese towards it country during World War II."

False: Korea was part of Japan during World War II. Many Japanese Soldiers and Officers were straight from Korea. They were Koreans. Japan never attacked Korea during World War II -- because that would have been attacking Japan. That would have been similar to the US attacking Hawaii.

Koreans make out like they suffered more than any other country during World War II. Do you remember even a single World War II battle in Korea?

Korea sailed through World War II and suffered little more than a skinned knee. Poland suffered in World War II, as did many others. Korea was in the bleachers.

During World War II, Korea was our enemy. Korean Soldiers (in the Japanese military) were torturing and killing allies. Koreans were often used as prison guards.

Many war crimes committed against Americans, British, and others, were committed by Koreans, who were widely reputed to be far more cruel than Japanese. (Which Koreans have proven ever since.)

And this, "Many countries in the South Pacific have similar feelings of ill will towards Japan for its actions during World War II, so this reaction to that symbol is not all that surprising."

Nonsense. It is the Koreans and PRC-Chinese who are increasingly unwelcome. Japanese are probably the most welcome visitors around Asian countries (other than in Korea and China).
